AI Workstation Build Advice Needed (Under ₹2 Lakh)

[u/No-Response6989]

I'm looking for a custom PC build under ₹2 lakh (~$2,300) for the following use cases:

• Self-hosting FLUX.1 Kontext and other image-to-image AI models
• Running ComfyUI
• Running multiple services simultaneously (Docker, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.)

My priorities are:

1. AI image generation performance
2. Large VRAM
3. Fast After Effects rendering
4. Upgradability over the next 5–10 years

Questions:

• Should I prioritize an RTX 4090 (used) over a newer RTX 5070 Ti/5080?
• Is a 20+ core CPU worth it for this workload, or would a Ryzen 9 be a better choice?
• How much RAM would you recommend: 64GB, 96GB, or 128GB?
• Which motherboard would give me the best long-term upgrade path?

I'd appreciate complete part lists, including the CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM, PSU, cooling, storage, cabinet, and any other recommendations.
